I remember your comment about simplicity being valuable when we talk about this. I also believe that dynamic and just-in-time capacity is a critical aspect of cloud computing but is infinitely more valuable when you can do it the public cloud securely rather than behind walls. That allows models like arbitrage to emerge where you can get capacity from a select group of providers based on current conditions. This can give great advantages to an organization. I agree.

Loved your point "Cloud services are services delivered over the internet or, if you will, through the cloud" That sums up my issue with the concept of fully quarantined "private clouds" For me this, kind of defeats the purpose of instant capacity anywhere at any time with you can move beyond your own data center.
